mircea_popescu: incidentally this is an islamic mainstay afaik. punctually, fine example of why "civilised" us might well welcome the rule of the "barbarians". legal improvements.
mircea_popescu: it's outrageous. married woman that hurts sleeping husband should be given the option of burning at the state / boiling in oil.
phf: in the old tradition of samson and delilah
asciilifeform: often the jury nullifies
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa it is not wholly unheard-of for wife to mutilate husband (blinding, decocking, etc) while he sleeps
trinque: phf: I'll get you postgresql user/pass this evening
trinque: hang them both
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how someone who waits for you to go to sleep, pours gasoline and lights up could possibly escape the hanging. it is about as cowardly premeditated as it gets, no need to encourage this sort of behaviour.
mircea_popescu: and of course "the public" = the rest of the tatanyshas are worried she may get executed for this.
shinohai: mebbe the 3rd time of seen that with a different woman charged with said crime.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://thebitcoin.foundation still contains a buncha #b-a links ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yeah but that ain't a 'valid sig'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> less money, shittier work. << Even if more money can't spend because blows cover, then die
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo " since it's sale to Airbnb" << its. << ty fxd
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall, they pasted the sig packet off the actual key to a random concoction, verbatim
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and here's a two stroke engine to get the day started in gear. http://67.media.tumblr.com/c4a6298582c76943b282e9b85b59de44/tumblr_nukg7cFcjI1tvvddjo1_500.gif << ty
asciilifeform: wtf is a 'valid sig to an invalid key'
mircea_popescu: the fact remains : unless i have your key from you, it's fake. no amount of holy water sprkinling on the key in question can alleviate this.
mircea_popescu: except in the case as seen of hpa's key, where they just attached a valid sig to an invalid key. ☟︎
Framedragger: why does it have to be all abstract and difficult
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: whether signature by $key to which the key in question is a sub of is valid?
mircea_popescu: "i took mercury and it brought the syphilis to a halt". mmmkay.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's also not partucularly true, but it is what they would like, so.
mircea_popescu: "i don't personally know her, she's therefore not a woman but meat".
mircea_popescu: to be specific : is this http://67.media.tumblr.com/91a7527fbf8fbbe3ee9f4f93a87ab6c0/tumblr_npzgb9CdVS1tceoigo1_500.gif a fake woman, or a real woman ?
asciilifeform: 'brought to an immediate halt the country's European Union referendum campaign just a week before the vote.' << that was apparently easy.
asciilifeform: (iirc this was mentioned in logz somewhere. presently it multiplies old_primorial * next_prime(old_prime), but this is wasteful, ought to happen in batches so that massive turd is multiplied only rarely)
asciilifeform: incidentally i devised a way to make the thing grow ~100x faster, but still not implemented.
asciilifeform: that gets gcd'd with the rest.
asciilifeform: 8ball has nothing to do with moduli
Framedragger: s/but too/but this too/ ^^
Framedragger: and that's great and all.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: concept of 'subkey' is waiting to be shot in the head incidentally.
Framedragger: btw i'd choose self-sigs over "trust sks keyservers not to include fake subkeys" any time of the year. obvs the point is to disassemble this false dichotomy. but short-term, self-sigs are not useless at all.
Framedragger: k, just making sure for the records, then
Framedragger: yeah i'm not certain how representative that figure is of whatever, honestly. with all metaphor removed, it literally is "the number of ipv4 hosts which respond to a TCP SYN to port 22 with TCP ACK [packet with ACK flag set]". i'm fairly confident that i haven't missed many hosts of this kind, but too should be replicated and tested.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski nice job adding references. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: sometimes i suspect if you were my hammam master you'd steel mesh the freckles off the girls. possibly most of the smaller clits nad nipples too.
asciilifeform: point was, in certain cases you don't actually win much by making this wager.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform some dirt is not actually dirt in the usual sense, but part of the fabric of reality.
mircea_popescu: collisions there, also.
asciilifeform: every time you hash, you make a bet that it will never be practical to find'em.
mircea_popescu: otherwise what, send everything in triplicate, like it's soviet union time ?
asciilifeform: collisions are certain to exist.
mircea_popescu: this seems ~the only true use of a hash function, "give me some bits to compare with his bits make sure the file made it"
asciilifeform: and ought to be abolished when practical.
asciilifeform: just takes multiple shots to cover modulus, comment, etc.
mircea_popescu: what's the ew ?
asciilifeform: this is entirely optional when designing new rsa container tho
mircea_popescu: anyway, "standard checksum" appears to be emerging as sha.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the items, not the plug.
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to have standardized mains. it's another to have standardized items that plug into them. no thx.
asciilifeform: no thx.
mircea_popescu: seems on the contrary, an epic point of decentralization
mircea_popescu: works for the user.
asciilifeform: not certain how practical this is, because in order to work it has to be standardized.
asciilifeform: you can't do this with crc.
asciilifeform: at least assuming 1-bit flip (which so far has been the case)
mircea_popescu: sort of passive crc. not clear that a) if you want it you shouldn't have it purpose built and b) if it's "just there" it should be necessarily preserved.
asciilifeform: incidentally, because self-sig exists, i could turn these into their correct versions if i had to.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try now
asciilifeform goes to the tank
mircea_popescu: put some gas in teh twocycle ? :D
mircea_popescu: yeah timing out here.
asciilifeform: looks like it is under load tho
phf: i've almost rewritten the irc bot. i'm not going to festival for couple of weeks, so it's going to get done
asciilifeform: btw both of the ones this morning were bitflips.
mircea_popescu: but, well backuped services don't so much care about this.
mircea_popescu: course, ending up with half the shit suspended because one guy's diesel modem croaked is also not such a good state of affairs.
deedbot: [Recent Phuctorings.] Phuctored: 429529 divides RSA Moduli belonging to 'Wilfred de Kok <wdk@protonmail.ch>; Wilfred de Kok <wilfred@thinkhuman.nl>; ' - http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/CB4E61E28FD9AFC202292274E2D73AD5AF5FEC567DCE5EDC52BFA34CB5B88F18
mircea_popescu: worth a shot. in any case protectionism should be a concern, much rather support people with than items without a wot.
phf: it's hosted on digitalocean fwiw, maybe i should try moving it to our friend's cockli server, see how well romanian diesel modems work
asciilifeform: it actually works this way afaik.
mircea_popescu: in general the way it's supposed to work is that it pms you ONCE IT SEES YOU TALK
mircea_popescu: yeah i;ve been thinking on the correct spec for it.
asciilifeform: looks like he put moar petrol in the 2-cycle modem or what.
asciilifeform was laughing in other terminal and forgot here.
mircea_popescu: hence the humour!
asciilifeform: 8ball would take about a billion years to get to sqrt(2048)
asciilifeform: 8ball is not relevant to this
mircea_popescu: what's the 8ball at yet, 100mn ?
mircea_popescu: give it some time.
asciilifeform: we found exactly ONE large-factor collision, and it was some troll
asciilifeform: this incidentally is why phuctor had been a depressing thing for me. the thing i set out to find, i never found (evidence of diddled rng on pgp users' boxes.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: and we already know that they have large-factor collisions
asciilifeform: prolly more than 100x moar.
mircea_popescu: there's 10x to 100x more ssh-rsa than gpg-rsa. it's a moot point.
mircea_popescu: sigh. anyway. "selfsigs" are not particularly well thought out, not to the degree but in the same manner.
asciilifeform: (why not and also kitchen, everyone fresh off the boat always asks)
asciilifeform: hey here in the lande of the phreeeee they combined toilet and washroom
mircea_popescu: who ever thought of this omfg it gives me hives on the brain just thinking about it.
mircea_popescu: the only one thing a datastore never does is "drop"
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, in cs. i mean, at all. fucking baker's notions of the world.
mircea_popescu: the notion of joining at the hip a permanent store and a cache is so idiotic as to make me certain the guy had no sort of formal education
asciilifeform: yeah that'd work
mircea_popescu: make wallet.dat and pending_transactions.dat. so if i want to flush pending txn i just delete that.
asciilifeform: understand, getting the balance of an addr is O(N) ~unless~ you've been watching it as the blocks splat in.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. so make two files.
asciilifeform: the tx in wallet thing is monumentally annoying but afaik no one has invented a practical alternative to the O(N) 'how much coin do i have'
mircea_popescu: (but in generally, no, it's as fucking stupid to have the sig cert in the sig as it's stupid to have the bitcoin transactions in the bitcoin wallet.
